The film has a window (11) cut in it to permit access to the patient's eye. A second, plastic film covers the window on the side away from the face. The second plastic film is made up of two cover flaps. Each flap is attached along one edge, generally parallel to each other, with the opposite, free edges directed toward each other, so that they overlap (20) over the window. The cover provides enhanced protection from contamination of the surgical site during eye surgery. | |
